...was not the best day to wake up to news of another plane crash, with almost everyone killed. (How on Earth did that Dutch boy survive?)

At least it reminded me to renew my travel insurance, which I did this evening with Insure And Go. I made sure I asked if I would be covered if the volcanic ash cloud caused my flights to be cancelled. They clarified. I won't, because now the ash cloud is a 'reasonably foreseeable event'. Oh great.
